The Crowning Of A Champion

In the closest conclusion this series has ever seen, Mozilla is finally able to take the crown, earning its first Web Browser Grand Prix championship with Firefox 7. Although Firefox has two fewer wins than Chrome 14, Mozilla's browser manages to earn three more strong finishes than Chrome, which we consider sealing the deal, if by only a hair.

Enjoy it while you can Firefox fans; Google doesn't like to play second fiddle for very long. In fact, we wouldn't be one bit surprised if a "minor" update that happens to contain a performance game-changer is pushed to Chrome within days (or hours) of this publication.

Chrome 14 obviously places second; no surprise there. The big surprise is our third-place finisher. It's not Internet Explorer 9! Rather, Opera finally breaks out of fourth place and grabs the bronze medal. IE9 simply lost too many times, allowing Opera and its "minor" .01 update to swoop in for the kill.

Firefox 7.0 is release that fixed my faith in FF. Unlike 5&6, it actually adds something new to the browser other than a minor security update. On top of that, it fixes everything that was wrong with 4-5-6: high memory usage (although even at its worst, FF managed to use less than Chrome anyday), slow cold boot and poor font rendering. All those are now excellent.

I'm usually torn between FF and Opera. Chrome uses lots of memory, is made by Google and a bit lacking in the features department (granted, so is FF - but at least it has add ons that fix those). Opera has the better font rendering and UI, but FF wins in raw speed and ad on choice in my experience.

opera is always consume all the memory that can be up to a maximum of 15%. thanks to its super cache so pages load faster already closed and will return to .. If an application requires memory simply lower your load.

I and occupied pc operates in memory of 256 mb and walk like a champ. instead listen to music and msn.
